In this episode, Warren from sunny Queensland shares his incredible first six weeks as a Jim’s Mowing franchisee. After leaving his council job as a drainer, Warren tried going independent but quickly discovered the challenges of finding consistent work. Joining Jim’s Mowing changed everything. Within six weeks, he went from having no savings to making $8,700 in a single week, taking on a mix of gardening, landscaping, and odd jobs.

Warren opens up about his decision-making process, the reality of being independent vs joining Jim’s, how he quotes jobs, and his long-term plans to grow into landscaping and become a franchisor. If you’ve ever wondered what starting a Jim’s franchise is really like, this is a must-listen.
